Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ At its regular meeting on December 31, the Cabinet decided to provide electricity tariff discounts to households until May 31, 2022, Minister of Energy N.Tavinbekh announced following the meeting.


Specifically, up to 350 kW for ger area households and up to 250 kW of electricity bills for apartment households will be exempted and any excess bills will not be subject to the decision.


To mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic, households and enterprises have been fully exempt from electricity and other utility bills from December 1, 2020 to this day, during which MNT 890 billion funding has been provided.


The discounts are limited on account of the increased load of the energy sector and the average electricity consumption of households is 250-350 kW. The Minister emphasized that 73 percent of all households will be able to be fully exempt from their electricity bills.


The discounts will be provided with funding from major mining projects and programs as instructed by the Prime Minister.
